Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to molding machines, and particularly to an electric injection molding machine.
- Injection molding machines are machines for manufacturing plastic products by an injection molding process. Motors are generally used to make moveable elements of the injection molding machine work. A motor driving circuit is used to drive the motor. In a motor driving process, a large drive current is caused to flow during acceleration (power ruining) period, and a regenerative current is generated in a deceleration period of the motor. However, the regenerative current generated in the deceleration period is thermally consumed by resistance, resulting in wasted energy loss.
